I think he had to get creative due to the 5 years limit, no necessarily because of money. Also I think at that time AA wasn't interested in free agents and wants to get players more via trade.

But ok if you consider a jump from 70m to 120m and then not being allowed to go absolutely insane into the 150s or 200s as a budget constraint then I'll give you that.

Edit: i think it's Rogers definition of breaking the bank, not mine. Those Vernon Wells, BJ Ryan, Jose Reyes contracts.
